Default Rear ended...Recomend Body Shops in Calgary Alberta...

So last week I had my harmonic balancer and belts replaced in Vancouver before my drive home back to Calgary. Cost just under $1200. She was purring like a kitty.

On my drive home to Calgary I was rear ended by a pickup truck in a construction zone while at a dead stop, he was going at least 20+ km/h. I've posted a couple pics.

I was able to drive the car back to Calgary, but rear drivers side is pretty banged up. Can anyone recommend body shops in Calgary? Obviously cost is not an issue, I'm just looking for the best. Based on my research online, I'm having a hard time deciding on a place...seems only people with negative experiences at body shops post anything!

I work at Calgary Motor Products, in the parts dept. Bodyshop here seems capable.
I remember Concours A/B was the place to go years ago, and they used to host the Covette functions here in the past.

Have used Concourse and they were good for me.
I think one of the top body shops is Marenello Auto Refinishing Ltd. They pretty much are the only place to go if you have a Ferrari, Lambo, Bugatti ...they are VERY GOOD!



Looks like you chose Concourse, I think you should be happy with them.

If Ken Friesen still runs Concours AB you will be treated very well and the job will be done right.

Thanks guys, ya, I dropped by this morning and feel good about choice with Concours.
Racer ~ thanks, I checked out Maranello, that was one of the tops I saw on other forums as well, only downside is they're so heavily booked...
Thanks for the responses all!
